British Pilots Surname L

While pilots from abroad fought with distinction in the Battle of Britain, the majority of pilots were from Great Britain. No official record of Battle of Britain pilots survived World War Two – only those who had died, and it is their names that are on a memorial in Westminster Abbey, which was unveiled in 1947. It took a RAF officer fourteen years (1955 to 1969) to create a thorough list of all the pilots who fought in the battle (and died).
